Be it; known that 1 Alonzo B. Soon, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Fail-wont, in thecounty. of Marion and State of' lVest Virginia, have invented a new and; linpro-ved (ardCase Attaclnnent for -Pentgilsdof which the following afull, clear, and exact description.

'Myinvention more especially. relates to pencil attachmentsforholding an identifi: cation.card, ,lodge card 'or' the like, and ob jects of my invent-ion are to provide an at- ,t'acl'nnent' that may be applied to an ordinary pencil and held the'fcard rolled into small compass and concealed entirely within the case; to provide for thecontrol and .1n'a-' nlpulatlon-of the 'pencil'to pro ect and Withmore mrticnlarly explained in the specific draw the lead by operations independently of the case and holder, and to provide a form ofrard holder of-the indicated character, of neat and compact construction.

The distinguishing features of my invenvt-ion and the important structural elements characterizing the preterred embodnnent which is illustrated as an example, will be description hereinafter to be given.

Reli'crence is to be had to theaccoinpanying drawings forming a part of this specifi* cation, in which similar characters of refr'ence indicate corresponding partsin all the views.

Figure 1 is a side. elevationof my innproved card case attachment, showing the same applied to a pencil of the type adapt-r ed to be Worn on achain' 'Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevationshowing my. at-

tachinentapplied to. a pencil case, which is shown in side view; Fig 3 isa side view' with the body of the card case removed, and the end member orcap of the .case in section, the identification card being shown] unrolled; Fig. at is a detached perspective View of the card clamping device; and 5 is a cross section taken tpproxilnately' on the line 5-5 of Fig. 2; i f

The pencil illustrated is of known form, having abody or case 10 and-an end ring'll for connection with a Watch'chaim and pro {vided with a tube 12for alead 13, the pencil being of that form that the tube 12 --may be or papen.

- the tube 12 by grasping the ring 11, whereby to project the lead 13 or withdraw the same within the tube 1-2.

In order thatthefpencil' niayjbe manipulated to project and withdraw the lead Wltl'b' out any alteration or manipulation of the card case 18, I provide for locking, the card case to the pencil case, for which purpose in the illustrated example, the pencil case is formedwith an inconspicuous"protub- -era'nce 25, which is received in an edge reoess orslot'26 at the terminal of the tapered front end 19 of the card case 18.' e v v applying my attachment, the cap 22 first nipped on; o t pencil l Case, and

To display the cardl or remove the same,

the card case 18 is turned with sufficient force to overcome t-hefriction of the protuberance 25, and disengagethe casefrom the cap 2 1. in; the construction in which the case 18 engages the cap 21 frictionally, then a longitudinal pullon the case 18 will disengage it from the cap and from the stud 25.

claim as new and desire to secure'by Letters Patent l. A card attaelnnent for pencils consist- 'ing 'of a clamp bar having eyes laterally disposed at endportions thereof in axial alineinent and at one side of the-clamp bar, said eyes being adapted to slip' on to a pencil case, and a card case of a diamete'r sufliciently larger than the clamp bar and its eyes to provide a space within the card .case for a rolled card, the said card ease being contracted at its forward end to fit apencil case and providedwithaidetach v able cap at-the rear end, said caphavihg a for receivinga-pencil case,

the openingv'in the cap being of approx ltwo subscribing witnesses.

mately the same diameter as the said con tracted front end of the card case. 7 5G 2. A card attachment ior pencils, cornprising an elongated clamp bar having members at end portions thereof. laterally .ofiset at one'side of the said bar, to slidably v spring clamp device independent of the card case For securing the said cap, to a pencil case.

comprising an elongated clamp barjhaving rings at its ends at one side of the bar and in axial alinement with each other and parallel with each other,'. a card case having atapered front end and of a diameter to pro- 75 vide a space surrounding the clamp bar and its eyes, a cap detachably engaging a pencil case and formed'with an eye to pass over a pencil case, and a split ring adapted to Y engage a pencil case and holda cap thereon. 8O

5. The combination with, a" pencil case of f a card case, one of said cases being formed with a recess and the other with a stud, a clamp bar detachably engaging the pencilcase, a cap detachably engaging the pencil case; and a clamp ring engaging the pencil case'and serving to clamp the said. cap against'longitudinal movement.
